Question Finally going to get rid of those emissions

Ok, so the cats are gone and replaced with pipes, now on to the air pump and e-fan.

Before i start on the fan, I need to know where I can buy one. Where did you guys get you electic fans from?
Also, to install the e-fan do i just get rid of the belt driven fan or do i have to disable a bunch of ****?

I searched and didn't come up with that much usefull stuff, if someone could post a write up i'd be helpful.

Thanx.

To get an e-fan, I suggest going to a junkyard and finding any late 80s pontiac. Most had e-fans. Use this switch to wire the thing in: http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/electacc.htm

Just undo the 4 bolts holding the fan on and pull it off. I took off the stock fan shroud too (opens up the engine a lot).

All you gotta do is pull off the old fan. Depending on which fan you get, and what radiator you have, the way to mount it is going to be different. But most people use the zip ties that come with the fan to mount it.

Personally I got the perma cool 16" and I have a Koyo radiator, which happens to have some brackets on the sides which make the fan easy to mount. Thats good cause I woulnd't want to put zip ties through an aftermarket radiator.

Id just get the adjustable temp switch. You can always pick up a 2 pole switch and wire it into the cabin, so you can also make the fan turn on whenever.

Anywhere from $5 - $25 (canadian since that is where you are from)
If you pay more you are getting ripped off.
